reader of this who suffers the tortures
of an aching back, ihft annoyance of

of kidney ills will fail to heed the
word of a resident of this locality who
has fchmd relief. The * following is
convincing proof.
Mrs. J. M. Wheeler, Prosperity, S.

for a long time, causing terrible
pains through my loms and limbs.
There was also a constant ache in my
back and on some occasions I could
scarcely get about The kidney secretions
were unnatural and annoyed me
greatly. I consulted several physicians
and tried a number of kidney
remedies, but did not improve in the
least. I had about given up the hope
or ever oemg cared wnen my son-inlaw
procured a supply of Doan's Kidney
Pills for me at .W. E. Pelham &
Son's drug store. He had read thati
they were good for kidney trouble and
induced me to try them. I did so and
after I had taken the contents of two
boxes my backache had disappeared
and my kidneys had been restored to
ii i jui t
cneir normal conaiuon. j nave recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills to many
of mr friends and shall continue to
do so."
